My recycled art
Hair wasn’t the only thing that was big in the 80s – so were earrings! The bigger and brighter the better. And I had some of the best and biggest, in fact some were so big & heavy they had to be clip-ons to provide ballast and stability. But they also had history: I wore one of them on my first date with Denis, one when I presented on the People’s Choice Awards, and another pair on Star Search, so I found a way I could enjoy them every day. I went to a craft store and bought a cardboard heart and some glue and I made this recycled art to hang on my wall. It’s full of sparkle and color but mostly beautiful memories.
Jenny,
what?? no feather earings???

Pretty! It looks really nice and I’m sure it looks great on the wall…
I have to agree that is a creative way to hang on to such memories. Nice job putting it all together 🙂
Oh and Jenny I’m stuck in the 80’s somewhat…lol…
I still think it’s cool how things were back then, even your earings. My favorite ones there are the blue ones. Those seem to form your art piece perfectly 😉
Take care,
Rhonda
I love that!! So creative….I have over 20 pairs of funny sunglasses that I wear from time to time. Maybe I can do something like that to display them when I don’t wear them! Or maybe I should just buy a sunglasses display that turns and put it in the familyroom for everyone to enjoy!
I told my husband that when I die I want him to put a pair of my fun glasses on me so when people come to visitation I will still get the last laugh!!
I really, really love the earring art…Kudos to you, my friend!
